POS System Defence

[friznit]

Yesterday, there was a POS under attack and Hulk was rallying up the troops but no one had ships ready to go including me. I was thinking we should have 5punkships all set up and ready to go in the Ship Array(or seperate array...dunno about the space/fuel requirements). Even name them "5punkship Tackler", "5punkship Sniper" or whatever makes sense and have ammo for them in the corp hangar.

I dunno...I just hated feeling helpless when all I had was my Ferox there and its on loan as it is.

/edit err...i know there are ships in Khank corp hangar, are we supposed to pod up there to pick up the ships?

This has crossed my mind a couple of times when dashing around trying to refit something so I can get involved in an engagement. It's a good idea (TM).

First off, I propose that we put Ki in charge of POS and System defence. He started working on it yesterday and has the experience and knowledge to lead on this.

Secondly, having 5punkships available in or near W9-DID is a great idea. During the time a while back when Marginis was pretty much under siege daily, there was a call for all ISS members to have at least a tackler ready to go in station. I now have 2 tacklers and 2 Caracals down there for 'destruction at a moment's notice' (usually mine, rather than the enemy ).

Thirdly, and largely thanks to Ki also, we now have the means to churn out caracals, tacklers, dessies and the mods and ammo in Tycho. Please remember though that anything we can't build we have to pay for and although the eventual goal is to have this heavily subsidised by the corp, we're not there yet. The old adage still stands: never fly a ship you can't afford to lose.

EDIT: Other points to remember include Corp Insurance, possible assembly and lab arrays in W9 to supplement Tycho...

Roger that boss...remind me not to leave any jetcans lying around

oooh, couldn't resist that one

We will keep a stock in Tycho when we get our office and a stock in W9 protecting our assets. What and how they're fitted will need to be decided by the defence team, which whilst Ki should be a major part of, it should be headed by a director - hence Hulk taking charge.

Now your speaking my language When I got promoted in BS.I to be logistics director I drew up all sorta of junk for what I'd like to do, and corp fitted and insured BSs for fleet ops was one of em. Now, odviously BSs are a little beyond our budget atm (unless we build them, but that's different again) but we should quite easily be able to build or finance a load of cruisers and frigs that we can stock zxic with.

Only thing I don't like about frigs and cruisers though is that in a POS siege scenario when your facing mountains of BSs and in all probability dreads they just don't cut it, so stocking zxic with said ships would ultimatly be pointless. General PVP though, great things.
